When the Hand Grabber Tool is selected, you can drag the mouse across the music in any direction to shift its position on your screen, as though you’re sliding the score page across your desk. In most cases, it’s a faster, more efficient way of moving around the score than using the scroll bars.

Special Mouse Clicks

While using any other tool, press OPTION+COMMAND to switch temporarily to the Hand Grabber Tool. Drag in the score to make a display adjustment without having to move the mouse to the Navigational Tools Palette.
